La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Different patterns]

I dont believe in the Mourinho rumours to take charge in Real Madrid at all, i mean he is old now and the new players are not gonna ""respect"" him in the way he needs, they are super cocky and they are not gonna run when he ask them to do so, i dont see him fit anymore for this new way of playing football despite being one of the best coach in history.

Mourinho is not a bad coach as you think and if there is any coach that can control Real Madrid dressing room and stop that ego within the players is Jose Mourinho, i know he is old but what Mourinho is still doing at Benfica is unbelievable because Benfica is having a good season even if they are not going to win the league or any trophy this season, the way Real Madrid players are behaving throughout this season they need a coach like Mourinho because he is the one that can bench anyone who is not doing the right thing as he want.

The reason why some people think Mourinho is not the right person to coach Real Madrid next season is because of the misunderstanding he has with Vinicius in the Champions League when he was defending his player that he did not call Vinicius a monkey and I understand that because every coach needs to protect his player, Vinicius fans need to stop emotional manipulation because they are the ones making the player feel like no one can talk to him in the dressing room, what he did to Xabi Alonso is not going to happen next season and if he did not feel like playing for the team he should move to another club because everything looks like he is not the same Vini we use to know.

I agree with you, Mourinho is the type of coach a club like Real Madrid needs right now because of his experience and how he can change players not doing their best. Real Madrid needs to get a coach that will not only improve the playstyle of the team or their tactics, but will have the ability to make the players obey his instructions, because it's very bad for a team to have a manager but will not be able to control his players in terms of giving them instructions and they will obey him, even in the coach is good, it won't show in their performances because the players are just playing what they feel like playing.

I don't understand in what sense. For Real Madrid the season is over, second or third place, not much would change. Even if he will never reach the third due to the high advantage he has over Villareal, but in any case he now has nothing to lose. That is, he has already lost.

Real Madrid have fallen behind in the title race long before the end of the season. They have failed to win the Copa del Rey. They have been eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. At the same time, it is impossible for them to win the La Liga title. Real Madrid is 11 points behind Barcelona. To win the title, Madrid will have to win all 5 matches and Barcelona will have to lose 4 matches. Barcelona will never lose 4 out of 5 matches. So Madrid should give up hope of the title. Real Madrid ended another unsuccessful season.

Mourinho is a good coach, and with the way things are currently going Real Madrid really an expletive coach that can fit in and manage this team the way they want. Saying the players won’t respect as they are supose to, I don’t really think they will do dat Mourinho know what he’s doing and honestly, if Real Madrid get him as their manger things may change, for the fact that Madrid need an experience manager they will do everything to see that they succeed in getting him if the rumor later be truth.

After the controversy against Benfica in the match a while ago, I think that some Real Madrid players won't like Mourinho, who seemed to let the Benfica players act like that. But it was entirely Perez's decision to make Mourinho their coach, and whether the players like it or not, they have to be ready to accept that decision.
So hopefully, if Mourinho becomes the Real Madrid coach, he can keep his ego in check with the players and won't make the locker room even more heated, which could lead to internal conflicts that ruin the team's performance.

I believe they have already given up on the La Liga title, They cannot win it anymore because Barcelona is already ahead of them with a very good point and Barcelona is not ready to lose any of their matches. They are still playing very well and they will make sure that they win all their remaining matches and nothing will stop them from doing that, Real Madrid should try another season as for this season it is over for them. They have gone through this season without lifting any trophy and this is very bad for them, They need a very good coach and I believe they have already started fighting for it. Real Madrid has gone through 2 season now without winning any trophy and this is very bad for their reputation. Let’s see how next season will be like for them.

You are right, Real Madrid will now find it difficult to catch up with the 11 point gap from Barcelona, so I think the conclusion is that the La Liga title is over even though there are still 5 matches left. Barcelona officially locked the title for the last 2 seasons. Barcelona can lose or draw the remaining matches, but Madrid can also do more than that.

I see that Real Madrid actually seems to have given up on winning the La Liga title, as there's no hope left. This was evident in the final match, where the players seemed to lack excited for in the game. This season marks Real Madrid's second trophyless season, a major blow for a club that is a major club but has gone trophyless for two consecutive seasons.

Well, Real Madrid basically needs not only a coach with good qualities, but also one who is respected by the players throughout the entire Real Madrid squad. Young coaches, even if they have great potential and good strategies, still lack the authority to make the players more compliant with their instructions. Jose mourinho might indeed be able to control the situation in this team and earn the players’ respect. but for some reason, I feel that the current players might not be a good fit for Mourinho. Maybe it’s just my gut feeling. But what’s certain is that I want Real Madrid to get a coach who can rein in the egos of the current players. Because the quality of the current players is already extraordinary. It’s just that their weakness is that sometimes they let their individual egos get too big, which causes the chemistry that was initially good to fall apart in the middle of the match.

If Mourinho takes charge of Real Madrid, then the Madrid team can improve a lot according to its current situation. Currently, we have seen that Real Madrid team has changed coaches several times but they have not been able to change their game and have not been able to develop them in a strong way. If Mourinho takes charge, then he will definitely improve the Real Madrid team a lot because he is an experienced and good coach, so he knows how to put the team in a good position. And Real Madrid really needs a coach like him at the moment, because Real Madrid has enough good players, so they need a good coach to create an environment to lead them. If this news is true and Real Madrid gets him as a coach, then the team will return to being strong again.

Yes he has the capacity to make them perform better, Madrid need a coach that is very proactive like mourinho, he know what to do if he is been given the job to coach madrid, mourinho can perfect things for madrid with such players they have because he knows how to use them to  get what he wants, if course they have tried different coaches, the solution isn't there yet and with what is happening the club problem is coach related, so mourinho can do the job, if the club management have such bring to bring mourinho in as their coach, I think it is a good plan and they better do it so that Madrid can return back to the performance we know them for, there recent matches is nothing to talk about, I will be happy to see them do better next season.

This season marks Real Madrid's second trophyless season, a major blow for a club that is a major club but has gone trophyless for two consecutive seasons.

They should have know that since the moment they dropped from topping the table it was not as easy as we all think but they were just not concerned about winning it, and the lack of unserious in Madrid might be from the coach because they seem not worry about winning they are no longer driven as they use to be, even the players of real madrid are always looking forward to making the club and them self proud because they know what is like to be the champion no one understand the champions league better than Real Madrid but not any more so they have lost all what they have built and all this started when Real Madrid brought in mbappe there performance dropped seriously and the excuse was he was trying to understand the league better.

Two seasons now and real madrid have failed to be able to win anything but that there problem Mayne they are tired winning and they want to go on a break on trophy winning because ot ia looking like it because even in the Champions League it seems like they were given everyone hope but the result was what we expected from them since this is not there first time let's see if they will end up doing the same thing next season.

I even find it hard to see that Real Madrid players are aware of this, and it was proven in their last match that they seemed to have no motivation at all to play aggressively. So indeed, this season is already over for Real Madrid and they have failed to win any titles. I am very sure that Real Madrid management will conduct a major evaluation for the next season, so indeed they are just going through the motions to finish this season, and I am eager to see what steps Real Madrid management will take to improve this team.

I think Real Madrid have already gone far from the expectation of winning the trophy this season and they have prepared themselves mentally for that. However, there were times in their favour during the season when they were very much ahead in the possibility of winning the trophy but they deviated from that position. Barcelona is currently at the top with 85 points and Real Madrid is in second position with 74 points. They will never be able to fulfill the conditions that you have given to Real Madrid to win the trophy. If they win all the matches, Barcelona will not lose consecutively. So you can definitely assume that Barcelona will win the trophy this time too.

It seems to me that Real Madrid’s plans for next season are quite clear. They will compete for the league title with Barcelona and will try to win the Champions League again. In terms of setting goals, I think everything there is pretty straightforward. But their most difficult task right now is to hire a good coach who can achieve these goals. I also think they will want to win their remaining matches, because Real Madrid is an ambitious team.

And when I look at the odds for the upcoming match against Espanyol, I currently see 1.7 for a Real Madrid win. That seems like a high odd to me, so I’ll probably place a bet on a Real Madrid win.

Barcelona officially locked the title for the last 2 seasons. Barcelona can lose or draw the remaining matches, but Madrid can also do more than that.

We keep going back and forth for any possibility of Real Madrid winning the La Liga, there is really nothing to show for it, Real Madrid can no longer win the La Liga, they had an opportunity earlier before now, they didn't take hold of the advantage, now they lost it, Madrid should come back next season, maybe Barcelona might allow the trophy slip away.

Barcelona only needs to win roughly 1 or 2 matches to be declared the winner of La Liga. Barcelona is the best team in the league, so there is no struggle for them because they can beat any opponent for the title.

From the beginning of the season Madrid already showed some forms of weakness in their performance, Personally I was not expecting them to lift the trophy this season, so I'm not/I will not be surprised in the end they don't lift the La Liga title this season. Best thing to do is for them to prepare very well come next season and try to stop Barcelona next season.

[Agbam]

I will say it again, Mourinho glory has run out, his magic hand is not as great as it used to be, although I understand that is not what Madrid are looking for, because they need a figure of control in the dressing room and discipline Madrid selfish players which I also doubt whether Mou will succeed, this is like a gamble that will have major consequences, because Mou is famous for his firmness and does not hesitate to remove players from the first team if they disobey, which could be Mou fate could be like Xabi.
Unless Perez supports that firmness, because this is where the problem lies.

So in your opinion, who do you think can manage the current crisis at Real Madrid?
Obviously Ancelotti or Zidane won't come back. That leaves you with a few solid guys like Mourinho that command a lot of respect from the players. Who knows, the glory you guys think has run out could actually come back at Real Madrid.

Is José Mourinho the solid guy? How solid do you think he is?…. Is it only discipline that Madrid needs now?.., I think Florentino Perez is getting too old and making too many rash decisions.

Only one bad season that Ancelloti had they decided to let him go and they couldn’t even let Xabi Alonso finish now there’s rumours of going for José Mourinho who I think is also a wrong choice for Madrid at this moment.

There’s guys like Jurgen Klopp, Lionel Scaloni even Pochettino. It’s better to give Unai Emery a chance than Mourinho right now.

[giorgione]

both teams are playing for the chance to go and play in the top flight and obviously they don't want to miss this opportunity, i have to say that now the advantage they have must be exploited, clearly this must be understood and must be exploited to the fullest, but I'm sure they will make it.

these are matches where many times you never know the outcome, yes its true they both have the possibility of winning and remaining in the top flight, but i don't think this is an advantage sometimes, fighting on equal terms with an opponent is not always an easy thing, which brings you an advantage, sometimes just problems.

Vinicius has focused so much on off field matters in recent years that his performance on the pitch has declined significantly. he has turned into an individualistic, selfish player who only thinks about himself.
if he keeps going with this mindset i expect a Neymar level downfall from him. it's a real shame for someone with that much talent.

[m4r1o]

Xabi and the current coach tried to make the team play beautiful football, not win games, and that cost them their jobs. With Mourinho it would be good; he would use the same techniques as Ancelotti, strengthen the defense, instill discipline in the players, and with that the team would win games. Because in La Liga, Real Madrid only needs a better defense than Barcelona, concedes fewer goals, and wins games to be champions.

I believe that Mourinho is not yet very ready to return to coaching Real Madrid even if with his character he could put and keep at bay the players who feel like superstars and who actually play badly, leaving them in their place is something that must be done sometimes to make them accountable.

Barcelona officially locked the title for the last 2 seasons. Barcelona can lose or draw the remaining matches, but Madrid can also do more than that.

Madrid's points gap with Barcelona is likely to increase further. Barcelona's performance is still  quite strong. Barcelona has won in the last  5 matches. Real madrid has won only  2 matches in the last 5 matches. In  these 5  matches, they have lost  7 points. As a result, they have been eliminated from the title race.

Real Madrid's performance is very irregular. In the last match, they could not play well against Real betis. The match ended 1-1 . I am just waiting  for El clasico. The match will be held in the  second week of May. Barcelona will play at their home. And in this match  too, we are probably going to see Madrid's defeat.

[Volgastallion]

Is incredible to see the LEaderboard of this league and how close are the teams to each other, plus how some teams falls a lot of positions (because they were super close) in the last rounds, for example like 10 round ago Espanyol was close to the top 5 and was enven in 5 place for a few rounds and look at them now they are more close to the relegation fight than the european spots.

PS: congratulations to Rayo Vallecano in his run on europe.
